Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We booked this hotel because of the mini golf and game room. No where when booking did it say those items were not open during the week. We had sad kiddos when we found it they couldn’t use those amenities. The room was fine. Had a musty smell, but it wasn’t horrible. My husband said one of the bath towels had a small spot of what looked like blood on it. The room did appear clean other than that though. We would say it’s an average stay but at a very reasonable price so I guess you get what you pay for.

Very decent place, comfortable bed and clean room. The shower has a tub/sliding glass doors that’s kind of a pain but otherwise fine. At least 100 channels on the TV, everyone with commercials…like most of the other hotels. Location is good, safe parking, and a few blocks away a beautiful view of the ocean.

Had room 117 which was the very end of the block. Road noise +++. Wouldn’t be relocated to another room. Told it would become quieter after 8pm or so. The room itself was ok and bed comfortable. Better places to stay than this.

The place was nice and quiet. My only complaint was is that the bathroom was cold and that condensation on the toilet tank is dripping on the floor, and that makes the floor wet.

The hotel was nice. Very close to lots of dinning, grocery store, gas, the beach. Very convenient. The man at the counter was also very nice. Was sad they only have the mini golf on the weekends. Cuz it looked very fun. But besides that, everything was nice.

First time stay

It was a nice stay and we would come back again. I wish they offered a microwave and the fridge was loud but overall a nice trip.
